Its been up for while, I'm sure most of you have noticed
and Kam has been away, and we haven't heard from the vice;; so here I go;;

ROUND THREE: BALANCING ACT
This round is a format challenge! Your R3 entry should be composed of two separate but related parts. They should be roughly equal in size/complexity; we're not going to be policing that, but the general idea is that they should balance each other in some way.

now I'm not sure what to do with this round, so if people have plans let me know, if anyone is working on fanfiction and needs panels drawn or wants to do a collab, please let me know, I'm all in for it! >shadow.gaara@hotmail.com

Bonus Round 3 - Retro Gaming
a crossover with a game that was released before year 2000.

I'm quite exited for this one and started right away, I should get some submissions in for this one at least, I'm sure some of you can come up with a few things aswell

both rounds end on 11:59PM EDT July 21

Round 2 - entries are up
apparently some entries in sector 4 are locked and I need pam to unlock ours when she gets back

well I think that is all for now.

usapin

So far I've only gotten one submission, and I'm about to submit it! Please let me know if you've submitted anything but it hasn't come through right or anything.

Also, I was wondering if you'd like me to post our submissions here as well?

usapin

Wow oh my gosh I AM SO SORRY???? I've been away because of a con, and I've been stuck in a kind of bad funk since I returned. Again, I'm veryverysorry aaah. So, let me try and summarize what's been up!! And then apologize for the absence five thousand times.

VOTING
First of all, have you voted? In order to see all entries you must first join

COLLAB ROUND

usapin

Hey!! I'm so sorry about the absence but ugh ugh con stress. I'm still here though, just having issues with dreamwidth and my ipad :I I only got one submission in my e-mail folder. I don't know if anyone else sent more, but I asked the skype chat, and I haven't received more than one submission. If you sent in one, let me know ASAP because if not I'll send in the only submission in a couple of hours! I'm sorry for the mess!

nolackofloquaciousness

Hi everyone!
It's time for the second official check in. The HSO mods need an email before June 25th 11:59 EDT
So please respond letting us know you're still around ASAP.

Thank you!

Also, if you're planning to submit something to be considered as our round 1 entry, remember to send it to rainbunneh@gmail.com.

Bonus round 1 goes till the 23rd, and we get points for submitting prompts (5 points) and filling (30 points, 20 after the first five). There are many awesome unfilled prompts on the post, and the genre mashup theme is easy to come up with amazing prompts for! Fill free to link to anything you've filled for us to appreciate c:

usapin

The check in is complete, we are now officially a confirmed team of eight members! Unless someone suddenly changes over, it will most likely stay this way for the rest of the games. But we've already got a grouyp together and I'm proud of you all kgjg uvu

I've got some things to adress before moving on to the main things of the post though. For major updates such as the check-ins and deadlines, I'd like you to tell me where I can reach you the fastest. I'd like to have all of your e-mails so I can e-mail you important updates, if that's ok! I have some e-mails from the questionnaire, but I still lack some. Unless you never check your e-mails though that's ok too, just let me know the best way to contact you in time! This is reeeaaally important for the forthcoming rounds.

Also make sure to check this comm regularly!! All important updates go here.

ROUND 1

The theme for this year's first round is GAMBLING.

For Round One, incorporate gambling--literal or metaphorical--in your submission. It doesn't need to be the central focus, but it should be a major theme.

The theme sounds pretty good for our ship if you ask me! There's Terezi's coin and then Gamzee's kind of a joker... Be creative!

I advise you to click the link and read the post. If there's any questions or anything you want to ask about, feel free to ask me! I'll do my best to try and help. It's very important for writers to not pass the word limit. There will be penalties!

Everyone who can do anything for this round should have their submission done by June 19th 11:59 PM EDT. Voting period will be June 20th to June 22nd 11:59 PM EDT, or until all eight of us have voted. Submissions should be e-mailed to rainbunneh@gmail.com with an appropriate subject title that will catch my attention or you can send me the file/link me directly if I'm on skype!

I set everything in EDT since the HSO follows it as well as four members are in it. But to make it easier on me the people who are not in EDT, I've made a list on what 11:59 PM EDT is in our timezones.

Ninzo: 6:59 AM
Me, Lun: 5:59 AM
Emily: 10:59 PM

COLLAB ROUND

The theme for this year's collab round is ABERRATION.

Since english is my second language I had to look it up. Here's the dictionary article for losers like me uvua

We should gather up as soon as we can for ideas for the collab round. Everyone needs to participate in this, it's mandatory and it will be awesome. It'll be like a huge party submission. Yes. The deadline for this is August 4th. You might think this is a long time, but time goes fast. We have no time to waste!!

VICE-PALHONCHO

We need to elect a vice-pal before June 8th, or more like ASAP. Lun has volunteered if no one else will, but she also made a good point that we should have a vice-pal over there in Americaland which I agree with since I'm asleep half of the time you guys are awake! Please let me know if you're interested in vice-palhonchosity!

usapin

Looks like for now we're a full team for now folks!

I'm sorry for lack of activity on my part, I've been busy with school but I'm free until June so I'll work harder to get us together as a team!Welcome to the new members! Please check out this post where you can fill out the questionnaire so the rest of the team can get to know you! Alsoplease add me to skype (smiletokamera) so I can add you to the skype group. I've noticed it's hard to find everyone online at the same time, soshall we try and figure out a date? I.e. a time where everyone is online. Other than that, don't be shy! mingle with the others!

The bonus round is still open!

Taken from the last post;
It's really easy, all you have to do is make some icons or a banner of a team that isn't ours! Our team can enter up to 10 entries that are validfor points, but please don't let that stop you if you want to make more. If we get in 10 entries though, we get 75 points. (5x10 + 5x5) So ifyou have some time on your hands, throw in what you can!

Here's a list of what we've entered so far!

ilyat made a banner for team Gamzee♥Roxy
I've made a banner for team Aranea♥Meenah

lun made a banner and made some icons for team Jade♥John

almonetta made a banner for team Nepeta♥Tavros

Here's what we've received!
Throw some love their way, will you?

miltennious (Aradia♦Tavros) made us a banner!

fayharley (Dirk♥Jane♥Jake♥Roxy) made us two banners and three icons!

ferrrox (Dirk♥Jane♥Jake♥Roxy) made us two banners!

Let's do our best and try and collect all the points we can! The deadline is Saturday June 2nd, we still have time! I'll work hard as well! Even if we make enough icons to get all the points, I still encourage you all to make more, though. There's nothing wrong with spreading the love! uwu

One more thing to wrap this entry update up! Would anyone like to work on the theme of this journal? It would be appreciated! I've looked around, but I can't say I'm good at journal pimping at all. Let me know if you've got something! :)

usapin

Not sure if everyone's settled yet but I've sent invites to everyone listed in the team roster, let's see if we can gather everyone up. Thinking of setting up an IRC channel, however I work after school so it might be late (CET)... However if anyone wants to take the initiative, go ahead! If you know any of the people who's signed up, poke them for me! I'll try and PM the ones who haven't responded.

But that wasn't what the actually post was about, I was going to link you all to bonus round 0! It's really easy, all you have to do is make some icons or a banner of a team that isn't ours! Our team can enter up to 10 entries that are valid for points, but please don't let that stop you if you want to make more. If we get in 10 entries though, we get 75 points. (5x10 + 5x5) So if you have some time on your hands, throw in what you can!

Go team!

For those who haven't, go fill out the questionnaire! I'd like to get to know you all and know that you're here!

Hello! I hope you don't mind, but I decided to ask for the definitive palhonchosity of this team. If there's any objections, feel free to trade out with me, haha. For last year's HSO I was co-palhoncho for a team, although everyone grew too busy to complete the HSO, I know a few things about being a palhoncho. If there's any questions of anything you're confused about, please feel free to e-mail me at rainbunneh@gmail.com or PM me at this account. I'm Kam, by the way!

The team name is kind of a thing I thought up just to collect us, we can discuss a namechange later if not. For now, I feel like we needed a place for everyone to get together so we can get to know each other and start acting like a team! I know that's VERY important in order to compete in the HSO, if you look at last years, the winners were definitely the ones that cooperated the most. My previous team had a lack of that, and it didn't really work. That's why I am going to do my absolute best to get us together!!

As of now we are EIGHT people, on the team roster. That means we can have room for two more. Go to the shuffle and find friends or stranger that can join us, while I'm glad we're confirmed I would love to see a full team!

One more thing to get us started. I'd like to create a group room of sorts. Whether it be a hidden memo on Pesterchum, a IRC channel or a skype chat, we should have something!! I'd like to know which of these you prefer.

HSO suggests us fill out a few quesions for us to begin, so I've created a little list here. I'm gonna start filling out one as an example, then you just copy the text box and fill out your own in a comment!

TEAM ♠ BLOODTHIRSTY
NAME/HANDLE: Kam
PREFERRED PRONOUNS she/her/hers
TIMEZONE: GMT/UTC +1 or CET (Central European Time)
PREFERED METHOD OF COMMUNICATION: Skype (smiletokamera) or e-mail (rainbunneh@gmail.com)
MEDIA THAT YOU WORK WITH: Art, though I can write I prefer drawing.
TUMBLR: usapin@tumblr

Happy shipping games!

PS: I'd like to get everyone's e-mails so I can send s-mails for the team every now and then (before deadlines, etc)
